Questions

What BPM is Very nice song?

180 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in thirty-second notes. At that speed the thirty-second notes are the whole difficulty, so the room will take it down to a quarter of it and climb back.

Is Very nice song hard to play on drums?

78 out of 100: demanding, mostly on the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 49 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

226 bars, about 5:01 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 64 exercises over 19 sittings, about 26 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, ride, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Very nice song?

13 fills to learn, played 23 times: bars 16, 24, 41, 56, 57, 89 and 17 more.
